Images of Women in the Augustinermuseum: A Tour with Depth
On Friday, June 26, 2026, a concentrated view of female perspectives in art and cultural history will open at the Augustinermuseum. During the tour with Monika Schacherer from the museum's friends association, we will enter the treasury; the focus will be on the Malterer and Weiberliste tapestries and thus on questions regarding the position of women as citizens, craftsmen, and nuns from the Middle Ages to modern times. Participation costs the regular admission fee. ([visit.freiburg.de](https://visit.freiburg.de/augustinerfreunde-fuehren-frauen-im-fokus-der-kunst?utm_source=openai))
A Journey Through History, Fabric, and Symbolism
Those attending this tour will experience more than a mere object observation; it will be an art experience with historical depth. Textiles like the tapestries in the Augustinermuseum have their effect not only through color and ornament but also through narrative, status, and social order. This is where their art-historical tension lies: they make visible how women were represented, categorized, and remembered in diverse life worlds.

The Augustinermuseum as a Place of Aesthetic Experience
The Augustinermuseum is one of the defining art locations in southern Germany. It combines art and cultural history from the Middle Ages to the 19th century, presented in a modernized, barrier-free museum building with new exhibition spaces, interactive access, and diverse educational offerings. The tour through the treasury thus gains a special exhibition atmosphere between historical substance and contemporary curation.

Guided Tour, Museum Education, and Cultural Education
The event is suitable for art-interested visitors as well as for anyone interested in cultural education and societal role models. The focus on women in the Middle Ages and modern times not only opens art-historical contexts but also questions of work, religion, citizenship, and visibility. This is precisely where the appeal of this artwork examination lies: it combines museum education with a clear societal horizon.
